How Can We Miss You If You Won't Go Away?

Joe Lieberman is concerned that not enough of other people's children may die bloody deaths in the future, so he's linking arms with fluke onetime Senator Scott Brown and a prominent Likudnik swindler to monger a little war from the private sector.

"This wasn't an idea that was Scott Brown's or mine, but it's a good idea," he told me. "I worry that there is a growing drift away from internationalism in segments of both political parties. And there's not an organized bipartisan [PAC] that is prepared to both educate or advocate to the public why America's continuing international leadership role is so important to our freedom ... and why it should be bipartisan."

You know what? Fk you, you pious sack of old sins. You've got enough blood on your hands for 10 men. The Iraq War, the biggest goddamn foreign policy blunder in 100 years, was "bipartisan" thanks to the idiot likes of you. It took a while but the public saw through the war, and it saw through the idiot likes of you, too. Now, you want to freelance a little propaganda, get yourself another little war on, and you're using a crook to bankroll the con.

In 2009, he admitted that he had bribed state controller officials to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars in order to secure $250 million in pension fund business for his then-firm Markstone Capital. But in exchange for his cooperation with the state attorney general investigation, Broidy was allowed to withdraw his felony plea and cop to a misdemeanor instead. He was sentenced in November 2012 and avoided any jail time.

Sweet! A crook and a rat. Not that it bothers Weepin' Joe any.

"I've probably known Elliott in one way or another for 10 years, this was a very difficult chapter in his life and also for those of us who've come to know and respect him," Lieberman said. "In the end I know that he pleaded to a misdemeanor and he paid an amount of money to the state in fines that was in excess of what he'd gained" through his actions.."It was unlike anything else that's happened in his life," Lieberman added. "He's been a success in his business and also in philanthropy and deserves a second chance. When he first came to me and talked about it [I decided] I'm not going to not get involved because someone will raise a question that Elliott will answer. But in a sense he paid the price for what had happened and now he wants to be a constructive person in a lot of different ways, including charity, but he very much wanted to be instrumental in creating a bipartisan pro-security pro-American foreign policy."

This from a guy who was so offended by the actions of Bill Clinton's penis that he could hardly speak.

"What's more likely to happen is communication in various ways of ideas to the public about why it's important for America not to recede as we have in the past for the world," he said. "We can come into a state and say senator 'a' or congresswoman 'b' has had the guts to take this position and we hope you'll call them and thank them. ... I don't think it'll be an actual think tank but I wouldn't be surprised if this coalition will sponsor you might call them colloquia or retreats at which topics of national security and foreign policy are discussed."

The "guts" to send your kid, not theirs, off to get her legs blown off for Joe Lieberman's ideas about the country's "role" in the world.

God, there has never been a more thoroughly worthless figure in American politics. Ever. Run away, McDreamy. You don't want no part of this.
